that is one question I have always lied about and now I plan to answer truthfully and let people know how I am doing. I am tired of hiding my condition and the more I let people know the more information will get out to others. By doing this recently I found out a person at works suffers everyday as I do with fibro. so you never know just be matter of fact and answer with truth

U say I'm doing the best I know how!

I am very honest with my husband and if I am not feeling good I tell him I just don't feel good today. he is very good to rub my back, legs etc scratch my back and on and on so I tell him how I feel or he can see by the way the house looks as to how I feel. It is the look of pity on his face I can not stand. Just hear I do not feel ok help if you can but don't pity me it does neither of us any good

This is an excellent question. Folks are right that a lot of people who ask you this don't really want to know. If it is a rough day, I muster my best smile and answer "I am hanging in there" (because I am) and on a good day I say "I am doing well". Then I am not lying, but it doesn't sound like I am complaining either.

Oh wow... This is a very good question. I guess it differs for me. I get really tired of speaking the truth and tired of lying as well. I guess most of the time I say I'm good. Or I'm ok. People tend to run in the other direction when spoke the truth.
